The formerly brilliant white gold hands have been darkened to resemble onyx. Even the lume insets on the hands and indices are muted in the light.
The case, bezel and crown are all made from brushed black ceramic and accented with a brushed titanium crown cap and case back. The integrated bracelet is made of matching brushed black ceramic with a titanium three-fold clasp.
As with a tactical field watch, every element of the dial and case that had reflective properties has been dimmed, save for the exposed screws on the bezel. Even the brand logo on the dial has been subdued to the simple “AP” icon.
Availability and pricing
Both of these tactical takes on the legendary Royal Oak Offshore chronograph are standard production models, but landing one is more than a matter of the lofty price tag.
The tonal green reference 26420CE is available now from authorized AP dealers for $58,400 but will likely require some waiting.
